Each part of Scripture, both open and dark, teaches meekness and charity; and therefore he that keeps meekness and charity has the true understanding and perfection of all Scripture. Therefore, no simple man of wit should be afraid to study in the text of Scripture. And no cleric should be proud of the true understanding of Scripture, because understanding of Scripture without charity that keeps God's commandments, makes a man deeper damned... and pride and covetousness of clerics is the cause of [the Church's] blindness and heresy, and deprives them of the true understanding of Scripture.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But all's to no end, for the time will not mend Till the King enjoys his own again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54493]]></link><description><![CDATA[But all's to no end, for the time will not mend Till the King enjoys his own again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You see these shuffling rows of shiny faces, waiting for their turn, so they're very dedicated to the program and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42541]]></link><description><![CDATA[You see these shuffling rows of shiny faces, waiting for their turn, so they're very dedicated to the program and desperate to know what it is they've got - so often, they have no idea.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We actually started having meetings yesterday morning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35294]]></link><description><![CDATA[We actually started having meetings yesterday morning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

It seems a truly terrible thing that this Sacred Appointment, which was surely meant to unite, in actual practice divides Christians more sharply than any other part of their worship. Christians of various denominations may, and frequently do, work together on social projects, they may study the Scripture together, and they may ... pray together. But the moment attendance at the Lord's Table is suggested, up go the denominational barriers... I would make a strong plea that we do not exclude from the Lord's Table in our Church those who are undoubtedly sincere Christians. I cannot believe that to communicate together with our Lord should be regarded as the consummation, the final pinnacle, of the whole vast work of Reunion. Suppose it is the means and not the end. We might feel far more sharply the sin of our divisions and of our exclusiveness if we came humbly together to receive the Body and Blood of our Lord, and in that reception we might find such a quickening of our common devotion to Him that the divisions between us might be found not nearly so insuperable as we supposed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou hast the keys of Paradise, O just, subtle, and mighty opium! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20530]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou hast the keys of Paradise, O just, subtle, and mighty opium!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We used to see a very large growth in our ground business, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38471]]></link><description><![CDATA[We used to see a very large growth in our ground business,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.

Righteousness comes back when man by faith is brought to walk with God again, and to give Him His true place by acting or being acted upon in all things according to His will. Anything, therefore, not of faith is sin. And all such sin is bondage. Self-will is bondage, for self-will or independence of God means dependence on a creature; and we cannot be dependent on a creature, be it what it may, without (more or less) becoming subject to it. What has not been given up for money, or for some creature's love? But who has ever thus served the creature more than the Creator without waking at last to feel he is a bondman? I say nothing of the worse bondage which comes from our self-will, in the indulgence of our own thoughts, or passions, or affections. Even the very energies of faith, while, as yet unchastened, it acts from self, ... may only bring forth more bondage... Who but God can set men free? And He sets them free as they walk with Him. All independence of Him is darkness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Remigius, Bishop of Rheims, Apostle of the Franks, 533 Commemoration of Thérèse of Lisieux, Carmelite Nun, Spiritual Writer, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7977]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Remigius, Bishop of Rheims, Apostle of the Franks, 533 Commemoration of Thérèse of Lisieux, Carmelite Nun, Spiritual Writer, 1897 To live of love, it is to know no fear;  No memory of past faults can I recall; No imprint of my sins remaineth here;  The fire of Love divine effaces all.
